I once came across a WOMAN with this name. Her REAL name was "Rachel-Emily Davies", but she CHOSE "Red" for her NICKNAME, CONSIDERING the fact that it was the INITIALS of her FULL NAME!

I think that this name is honestly a unisex name, and you can probably see why. I like this name, I just wouldn’t give it to anyone. Could you imagine the teasing?

This is an edgy and cool moniker. It does sound more like a nickname, but I don't think it's "infantile". It's just not your average name. Why did the name Grey take off and not this? It's quite nice. It could work for both genders. But it would seem unfitting on someone who doesn't have Red hair, or who doesn't even like the color Red. But you can say the same for Violet and Blue! Colors don't suit everybody. It's a matter of luck. Because it's uncommon and treated like an alien, the name might be better for a fictional character. If that story takes off, then the name can get popular.
(See: Madison.)
It would be good for a spy (Code Red) or someone who's not afraid to take risks. It could go on a shy kid who likes to read books. Anybody could be a Red, but not everybody - since it's a color, and colors have preconceived images attached to them. Be careful with this name..
It would make a pretty cute middle name, if nothing more.

Makes me think of The Red Guy from that hilarious TV show Cow & Chicken. I don't think Red is really a name. It's more of a nickname.

It's a primary color and all, so it sure sounds weird as a name. It sounds more like a nickname, and as the official name, it sounds silly and quite infantile.
